COMPREHENSIVE APPLICATION OF NATURAL BIOSTIMULATORS IN THE TRAINING OF ELITE ATHLETES

Aim. The article deals with studying the effect of drone larvae homogenate and a homogenized whey product on the recovery of professional track and field athletes. Materials and methods. 58 professional male athletes participated in the study. We examined microcirculation using LAKK-M laser analyzer of capillary blood flow. We assessed the state of the regulatory mechanisms of cardiovascular activity using VARICARD 2.51 hardware-software complex. The morphological blood picture was evaluated using laboratory method. Results. After the course of treatment, microcirculation intensity increased by 38-40% (p < 0.05), tissue oxygen consumption increased by 13.9-17 % (p < 0.05), the activity of regulatory mechanisms improved by 29-41 % (p < 0.05). In the blood system, the quantity of erythrocytes and hemoglobin increased by 7.3 and 8.8 % respectively. We registered a decrease in the ergotropic influence of central regulatory mechanisms on the heart. This resulted in the increase of the trophotropic effect of the autonomous system. Tension index decreased by 16-60 % (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The comprehensive application of biologically active substances improves body recovery and expands the functional potential of the cardiovascular system in athletes.
